Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread,"
Who is Jesus Christ?
He was among us here on this planet some 2000 years ago. "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not" (John 1:10). Does the world know Him better today? We hope so; there are people worldwide who preach Him.
Jesus Himself asked the plaintive question, "When the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8). The prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation tell of a massive deception of a false christ seeking to capture the earth; we can't imagine a more terrible thing to happen than for the true Christ to return the second time and find us kneeling before a false christ!
In the second angel's message of Revelation 14:6-12 and in the glorious fourth angel's message of Revelation 18:1-4, Heaven proclaims the divine call, "Come out of Babylon, My people." "Babylon is fallen," eternally fallen; the call to "come out of her" comes to every individual personally; we need to know the truth of the true Christ versus the false christ--to be able to tell the difference clearly.
The false christ is a superlatively clever deception; one simple easy place to begin to study is this: (a) has Jesus come in the sinless nature of the unfallen Adam, as many believe? Or (b) has He come truly in our fallen, sinful humanity, yet has condemned sin in the flesh of fallen humanity?
He will have "144,000" who "follow Him whithersoever He goeth," which means that they will have "come out of Babylon" and will understand the difference between the true Christ and the false one.
Read again that lovely last page of your Bible: "Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" (Revelation 22:17). The gates of the New Jerusalem are open to every soul who will be happy therein.
It is here and now that we learn to know Him, and to distinguish Him from the counterfeit.
